Essay about Frequency, Wave Lenght and Wave Velocity

Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to verify the relationship between frequencies, wave length and wave velocity of a transverse wave on a string, as well as the relationship between the spring tension and the number of standing waves formed. Two different strings used in this experiment are white and black in colour; the µ1 value calculated for the white string is 2.73 x 10-3 ±0.00055kg/m with an uncertainty of ±8.2932 x 10-5 kg/m while the µ2 value calculated for the black string is 1.38 x 10-3 kg/m with an uncertainty of ±8.6492 x 10-5 kg/m. However, the actual linear mass density µ0 of the white spring calculated is 2.87x10-3kg/m; compared to the experimental linear mass density µ1, the difference in error was…show more content…

Also, the greater the tension on a string the greater the pulling force from one particle to the other; therefore ability of the particle on a string to pull the particle next to it is directly proportional to the tension on the string. The speed of a wave is inversely proportional to its linear density, µ, because the mass of the end particle of the string will affect how fast it will respond to the pull from another particle. The maximum amplitude of a cord can only be achieved if the vibration of the frequency f, length of the cord L, and the speed of the wave on the cord v, is related such that a resonance and a stationary/standing wave are set up. Therefore, the natural frequencies fn, of the oscillation that produced the wave can be determined using the equation fn = {n/2L (√F/µ)} where n is the number of loops (segments between nodes).
Procedure:
The experiment was performed as written in the lab manual “refer to manual”.
Data and Analysis:
Fig 1: showing the graph of experimental frequencies vs. the natural frequencies of vibration of the white string.

The above graph represents the measured frequency vs. the natural frequency. From the graph, we can see that the slope is 19.137 ±0.00055 and the regression on the graph is 0.973, therefore demonstrating a straight line. The µ value for this graph was calculated to be 2.73 x 10-3 ±8.2932 x 10-5kg/m

Once the P wave initiates the signal, the R wave is the first upward deflection after that. Anyone can easily recognize it on the electrocardiogram (ECG). That is because it is the largest one out of all the waveforms. The R wave corresponds to the depolarization of the left and right ventricles. It does not need the Q wave to be the first deflection at all. Also, note that there can be multiple R waves. Throughout the paper, it will discuss all the wave functions, specifically the R wave, any abnormalities…

explaining in turn what light and sound are, but first we need to know what waves are in order to make it easy to understand the others.
Waves exist in both sound and light. Or to make a better sense, it is what makes them exist. Waves are vibrations that transfer energy from place to place within a medium. The medium could be solid, liquid or gas. It is the medium that vibrates as the waves travel through. There are some waves that don’t need to travel through a substance. They may be able to travel…

gender equality is achieved feminist will always have something to fight for. Feminism, as a movement, has come to American society in three fairly distinct eras, called waves. The First Wave began around the 1840s and lasted through the 1950s, the Second Wave running its course from the 1960s to the 1970s and finally the Third Wave starting in the 1980s ad continuing into modern day. The eras of feminism each came with their own unique issues and methods of demonstration, as well as their own distinct…

The Detection of Gravitational Waves,
How Close Are We?
Since the realization that the general theory of relativity predicts gravitational waves,
there have been attempts to actually detect these waves. Indirect observations have been made
that support their existence but no direct measurement. This paper gives a brief explanation of
gravitational waves and discusses the current…

THE WAVE-
“Research the original story”
The movie ‘The wave’ is based on a true story that occurred at Cubberely High School, Palo Alto, California. The point of the wave was to experiment and to demonstrate how a typical democratic society can be ‘fascism’. This experiment was performed by Ron Jones; his stage name in the movie was Mr Wegner. Both men were well-known as history teachers and this experiment was introduced as a trial in April 1967 and went horribly wrong.
As he failed to get…

The earliest of civilization begin around 3500 B.C.E in three place. One of the most important place was the Middle Eastern civilization in southern mesoptinma. Sumerian civilization most likely was the first to give the world earliest written language. Which was used by officials to regard the gods by various temples. Near the Nile river valley there was a rise in Egyptian civil for pyramids and pharaohs, as well as another civil. Known as, Nubian farther down the Nile…

Third wave feminism is the composition of several diverse strains of feminist theories that emerged around the early 1990s, although much like the movement itself it’s origins are subject to a great deal of debate. When Rebecca Walker famously declared in 1992 “I am the Third Wave”, she opened the doors to a movement that moved past what they perceived as the second wave’s ideological rigidity (Walker). This essay explores a wide range of academic discourse on third-wave feminism with the intention…
